Core member
Assistant Professor, Ph.D. Program for Aging

Education:
Program of Developmental Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, PhD
Research expertise:
My major research interest is the function of astrocytes and related diseases, especially the multiple sclerosis and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In the previous studies, we found that several transcription factors necessary for gliogenesis are involved in injury recovery or tumor progression. I aim to discover the roles of these transcription factors though genetics, cellular, circuitry, and behavioral approaches. These studies will help us understand the mechanisms underlying critical CNS pathological events and provide the chance to develop new treatments.

Chair Professor | José del R. Millán

External Advisory Board Members
Carol Cockrell Curran Endowed Chair Professor, University of Texas at Austin, ECE & Neurology
Former Defitech Foundation Chair in Brain-Machine Interface at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland
IEEE Fellow
Fellow of the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering

Dr. Millán has made fundamental contributions to the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMI), especially based on electro-encephalogram signals, the design of brain-controlled robots and neuroprosthetics. He is prioritizing the translation of BMI to end-users suffering from motor and cognitive disabilities, and designing BMI technology to offer new interaction modalities for able-bodied people.

Chair Professor | Linda Greensmith

External Advisory Board Members
Sobell Chair of Neuroscience
Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences
Fellow of The Royal Society of Biology
Head of The Department of Neuromuscular Disease at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology
Scientific Director of the UCL Queen Square MND Centre

Professor Greensmith runs the Graham Watts Laboratories for Research into Motor Neuron Disease (MND) at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. Her research is focused on improving our understanding of the pathophysiology of motor neuron degeneration and muscle paralysis, and in developing novel therapeutic approaches for MND/ALS. Her group uses a wide range of techniques, ranging from whole animal physiology to RNA transcriptomics. They are  recognized for their expertise in mouse models of MND/ALS and for undertaking preclinical trials, with the long term aim of translating these findings into disease modifying therapies for patients.
